MOBILE, Ala. -- Mobile police say a man was shot three times in his lower abdomen Thursday morning by someone he knows. Police arrested Marion Pettway later the same day in connection with the shooting on Charles Street.

Police declined to name the victim, who was taken to an area hospital for treatment.

Pettway, 38, has been charged with first-degree assault and was booked into the Mobile County Metro Jail, where online records show he was released after making $7,500 bond.

Capt. John Barber said that the shooting was not random, but did not elaborate. The shooting occurred at about 4:40 a.m.

Online court records show that Pettway was charged and convicted of possession of cocaine in 1999, and of loitering in 1996.
